Speaking to the New York Post, Grohl said: “In our way, it was like this ultimate gore Spinal Tap. It was one of the most inspiring rock ’n’ roll films because it made everyone take a look at themselves and think, ‘Oh s***t, I hope I’m not like that.’ And so it was kind of a manual of what not to do — or else you might become Spinal Tap.”
He added: “It is something I never wanted to or expected to do. It just kinda happened. A friend of mine … had a meeting with these people that said that they want to make a horror film with Foo Fighters.”
His surprising response was: “That’s the stupidest f**king idea I’ve ever heard in my life. There’s no way we’d do that s**t.”
The 53-year-old musician is no stranger to appearing in Hollywood productions. In the recent third instalment of Bill & Ted, Face the Music, he briefly made a cameo. Back in 2015, he did the same in The Muppets movie, playing himself in both projects. And, when Foo Fighters started recording their new album, he couldn’t resist but to start acting once again in the movie idea he originally thought was “s**t”.
